Upgrading to Windows 10

Question

Sign in to vote

I am debating updating to Windows 10. I was advised during the reserve process that my device "Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter" would not be compatible and would not connect me to the internet. I have no other means to connect to the internet except the device and service I am currently using. Other than buy a new computer, which financially is a no, what is my work around this problem? I have a windows7 system that has all the updates, but this one concerns me a lot.

You should be safe to upgrade. Many people have done it without issue. Check this thread :

Hi,

In my opinion, because this is hardware problem, there is no way to but to change a new wireless adapter.

However, you can still make a bet even I don't suppose it. Make sure your personal file backed up.
